Really a bad idea especially if they think about they can get quick profits with this alt since they might just burn their capital especially that everything on altcoins are more unpredictable and we don't know if there's a chance that we can recover if sudden negative scenario will come up. Also if they think about investing on it for long term well more risk will come for the side of people doing that since we know that altcoins posses huge risk so they should erase the thoughts about having and go directly with bitcoins if they really want to get higher chance to get good profits on their investment.
It maybe hard to influence people to think about dropping their thoughts about investing on shitcoins but hopefully they would realize shitcoins is just a waste of time and can give their stress. Bitcoin proves a lot of things that's why its better for investor to think about having bitcoin first on their portfolio since this could give them more higher chance to get realistic profit especially if they aim is to save up some good amount/volume for their future.
One thing I like about cryptocurrency is that when people have refused to go the right way by investing in Bitcoin the is reliable, they letter learn from their mistakes which they may not repeat doing things the wrong way. Bitcoin is a good and reliable investment but some investors fails in investing in Bitcoin because they think investing I altcoins the price is cheap and they can quickly gain profit from it quick, this is what people have always believed and many people have regretted for believing this. No matter how much and how far the price of bitcoin has reached it is still profitable to invest in bitcoin at anytime. The market of bitcoin is different from altcoins, altcoin can just show a slight movement in the market and never increase again. But we can see how much the price of bitcoin has gotten to and it is still profitable when you invest in it.
Their is no need in investing in altcoins because it is something you can never predict when it comes to risk, it is preferable to invest I bitcoin. Investing in Bitcoin you don't need to be scared about if something is going to happen to the market. I can say most investors investing altcoin don't even have peace of mind of what they are investing because they aren't sure of their investment but their goals is just to make quick profit. One of the criteria of a real investment is investing in what you are sure of that it is profitable and not taking so much risk that anything can happen, this is not what we call investment, it is just the same as gambling.
